Craig Paton Scottish Dance Band
For the very best in traditional music and song, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor and a new session from Craig Paton and his Scottish Dance Band.
For the very best in traditional music and song, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. This week we have a brand new session from Craig Paton and his Scottish Dance Band recorded in our Aberdeen studio.
And Gary's guest this week is fiddler Alistair McCulloch. Alistair is sought after as both a performer and teacher and lectures at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He is also the only person allowed to play the Gregg Fiddle- an instrument that it is thought was played by Robert Burns at his dance classes over 250 years ago.
